"For just one month... please, pretend that we're married." A sudden proposal to enter a fake marriage just to get Igneel off his case was more then shocking. Especially since he asked a complete stranger to marry him! Pretending to be newlyweds started out as a dreadful task, but when you spend everyday together, you end up thinking the opposite. —NatsuxLucy

a/n: I don't even know, I just saw rboz new picture of nalu(love it by the way c;) and so, I decided that I needed to write some kind of one-shot to it! After an hour of trying to figure out what I wanted to write, this came up. Enjoy. C:

"For just one month... please, pretend that we're married."

They were just two strangers when suddenly that proposal came out of one of their mouths. It wasn't an agreement or anything; it was just a simple request.

She was just casually sitting there in the coffee shop, drinking her tea and doing her work on her laptop when suddenly this handsome—she couldn't lie—man comes over and started to chat his way up with her. She thought he was a sweetheart since he was just some harmless flirting here and there and when he finally cracked the reason why he was there, she thought he was crazy.

"What do you mean marry you?! I just met you 30 minutes ago!"

"Shhh! Let's take this outside, please." He whisper-shouted, putting a finger to his lips. Lucy shook her head and huffed in irritation, "And why would I? For all I know you could be some pervert that'll—"

And suddenly her laptop was slammed shut and she was over the stranger's shoulder as if she was just a sack of potatoes.

"Let me down! I can get you arrested for this! Who the hell do you think you are?!"

"Calm down, Lucy! I promise—I'm not some creep!"

Natsu shoved her to the nearest empty corner and set her down, looking around to see if anyone was looking. He trapped her between his arms and watched as her face turned pink, a small smirk crawling up his lips.

"Are you blushing?"

"Shut up! What was that all about?! Explain you feline!"

"Ouch," He mockingly said making her punch his shoulder. He laughed half-heartedly before he became serious again, leaning near her face making her blush even more.

"Luce... I seriously need your help."

"What are you talking about?"

"About that proposal... err, my dad thinks I'm a good-for-nothing son that'll grow old alone and I want to prove him wrong. After all, he thinks I'm gay or something because I never brought a girl home. Anyways, I told him I already have a girlfriend and we got married couple months ago but you were in some other country due to some business trip so... since I saw you in that coffee shop looking ever so beautiful, why wouldn't I chose you?" He said breathlessly, leaning in close to make her back away and scowl in embarrassment.

She pushed him back a bit before clearing her throat, trying to process what he had just said to her.

"So... you're saying... that I should act like I'm your wife for a month? Just to get your dad off your case?"

"Pretty much. Then after I make him believe it, I'll say we got into a huge argument and you want to file a divorce and viola, we don't have to ever speak about this again."

Lucy shot the pink-haired man a spectacle look as like would anyone would believe that. What kind of couple separates that quickly after marriage and who marries just out of the blue without even asking the parent's permission? And what kind of person just randomly proposes to a stranger?

Apparently, this guy does.

"So, what do you say Luce? Please?" He begged her with those beautiful onyx eyes he had, making it harder for her to deny his proposal. He was attractive... and it could be fun to mess around, maybe she should do it.

"Oh, you're the best! I love you so much even though we've only met an hour ago!" Natsu shouted as he picked up the blonde haired woman, making her scream out loud. He put her back down on her feet and stared into her brown eyes, her whole face turning a shade of scarlet.

"You know..." He started to say breathlessly making her heart go wild and her face turn hot. "You're really heavy."

The next thing he knew was that she punched him in the face and walked away, leaving a dumbfounded male watching her retreating figure.

a/n: I don't know... is it okay? Bad? I'm not so sure either... but I guess it'll be fun to pretend you're a married couple for a month, eh?
